Percentage of worng answers w/ RC 3000

isisalaska

Hi
I have been practicing with RC 3000 and I am getting about 20% wrong answers (out of 40). Can anyone tell me what percentile would that be? In other words, I need and indicator of how I am doing. Thanks!

OG 11's diagnostic test at the beginning of the book might be of help to you...

still theres no way to estimate like that...

just stop worrying about each type (eg.RC or CR alone.) and take practice tests to gauge the performance.

10 Feb is close Cool

Also, be aware that the percentage you get wrong has very little to do with your final score. Eric mentioned this in his post, but I just want to elaborate: DO NOT base your progress on the number of questions you get right.

The difficulty level of the questions you get right or wrong is a far greater indicator of your score than just the raw number you get right or wrong - COMPLETELY different from the way we were tested in school.

Most people get roughly half the questions right (and roughly half wrong, of course) on the test - and they score anywhere from 300 to 700 with that performance. Think about that - you can score in the 90th percentile and get only about half the questions right. (This is approx. of course - maybe you'll get 56% right or something like that.)

The difference lies in the difficulty levels of the questions. Below 300 and above 700, you'll start to get more wrong or more right, respectively - but even a perfect score, 800, means you're getting around 5 or so questions wrong in each section.
